It's official, Ellis Johnson hired as Auburn DC

Sorry if Germans.

That's a pretty good Offensive and Defensive mind already in place on the Plains. How soon til Auburn wins 8 games in a season?

Comes down to when the first $180K check is written

If they don't somehow manage 8 wins next year

They will do it in 2. Malzahn is a good offensive coach, and EJ is a pretty good defensive coach when he has the talent he needs to run his D. He'll have it at Auburn.

Does this reduce what USM owes to Ellis J?

They hired Gus Malzahn mainly because he already knows the PIN for the "recruiting account" (credit T45-Fixer).

Nope. According to their board, they have to pay the amount of the contract regardless.
